pitchfork music festival, day two

Day two of the Pitchfork Music Festival was long. So many acts, so many of them great. Here’s a quick-and-dirty image-based recap.

William Parker Quartet

Tight, amazing harmonizing between the sax and trumpet. B+

Voxtrot

Big-time energetic, but still Ted Leo knock-offs and nothing more. F

Beach House

Sound problems galore, plus weird setting to start with. C

Battles

Best show of the day, festival. They are our Gods. Time to recognize it. A+

Mastodon

Fierce, fun, not really my thing. B

Clipse

Big crowd favorite, clever and boisterous. A-

Cat Power

Too tired to pay attention, but Joe loved. B+
